Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The basic rules of concrete construction
Concrete is the "modern" construction materialthat has helped shape the fundamental static principles of structuralload bearing. Similar to masonry, concrete effectively transmitspressure downward, but its weak point is tractive forces. Concrete hasalso enabled freer use of architectonic forms. This title imparts thebasic knowledge every architect needs to master for planning reinforcedand non-reinforced concrete construction.
Whereas all textbooks assume some basic knowledge, the BASICS series starts at zero. Student-friendly price Consistent didactic conceptBuilding material -- Construction method -- Building parts.
